EF02 will focus on the study of the Higgs as a portal to discover new physics proposed future colliders including pp, e+e-, and ep machines. This topical groups focuses on studies of BSM Higgs such as the 2HDM, SUSY Higgs (e.g. A→Zh, same as LFV and Charged Higgs etc.), Extra scalars, Exotic Higgs Decays, mono-Higgs searches. This group will address:

• Higgs as origin of EWSB and naturalness portal
• Higgs and EW phase transition
• Higgs as the origin of all flavor in SM
• Higgs portal - explicitly as lowest dimensional gauge invariant operator to other sectors

These topics will benefit from the synergies with other topical groups . All groups commit to working together to ensure the least possible duplication and a full sharing of information. Cross-group topics are:

• Flavor violating Higgs production and decays (EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings)
• Effect on Higgs couplings to fermions/bosons and on the Higgs width from extending the scalar sector (EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings)
• H→hh (EF01 - EW Physics: Higgs Boson properties and couplings)
• Composite Higgs (BSM: Model specific explorations)
